Agreed. Loved Riley's tackle. I think Cross also had a couple of smothers in the 2nd half which showed his intent. He is just an out and out honest hard worker in the same vein as Jnr McDonald.
And what about Riley? First itime I've seen him and I probably know less about him than most here, but I had a sense that whenver he had the ball something good would come of it. And mostly that's what happened. It's probably way too soon to call him 'Mr Relileyable?'
Start of the 3rd qtr. Absolutely turned around from the 1st half where they let it go at all costs. Then we had 2 x holding the ball against us (Salem's was totally ridiculous), 1 x 50m penalty and 1 x holding the man. At least 1 turned into an umpire's goal. Looked like they were trying to gift Richmind the game.
So proud that our boys didn't drop their heads, either then or in the last qtr under pressure.
